• 1 1/2 Tbsp. cornstarch
• 2 3/4 cups 1% milk, divided use

Directions

1. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, combine onion, garlic, wine and margarine. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, 6 to 8 minutes or until onions are tender. If liquid begins to evaporate, add a bit of water.

2. In a cup, combine cornstarch with 1/4 cup of the milk, stirring to mix well.

3. Stir remaining 2 1/2 cups of the milk into skillet. Bring liquid in pan to a boil. Stir in cornstarch mixture, stirring until mixture thickens. Boil 1 minute, stirring. Reduce heat so that sauce does not boil.

4. Stir I Parmesan cheeses. Stir in sour cream, mixing well and whisking if necessary. Stir in chives, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and pepper, and stir well. Add salt, if desired. Cook over very low heat an additional 2 to 3 minutes until flavors are well blended.

5. Arrange fettuccine on a serving platter. Top with sauce. Or serve individual portions of sauce over pasta. Garnish with additional chives, if desired.
